HOPE Coffee is a Christian owned coffee company that exists to share the gospel through servant-evangelism projects in Honduras and Mexico. We purchase coffee from farmers who have small plots of land and pay them higher than the market wages. The coffee is transported to the U.S. in order to share high-quality Honduran and Mexican coffee with individuals, churches, non-profits, and businesses. From those purchases, 100% of our net profits go back to Honduras and Mexico to support the servant-evangelism projects, which allow the local Honduran and Mexican churches to share the gospel while meeting the physical needs of the Honduran and Mexican people.

What is the purpose of HOPE Coffee?

The purpose of HOPE Coffee is to share the gospel through the local church in Honduras, Mexico, and Africa. 100% of our profits go toward servant-evangelism projects in Honduras and Mexico, where Camino Global missionaries team up with the local church to use the funds to reach out to the community in order to share the gospel. The Honduran and Mexico churches shares the gospel with people in their community as they work together to build water wells, put in floors for families, install roofs on houses, and build houses for widows. Every year, we see many Honduran and Mexican people come to Christ through these servant-evangelism projects. We also partner with Compassion Tea, so 100% of the tea profits support medical missions in Africa through CompassioNow.

How did HOPE Coffee start?

HOPE Coffee was started by Mark Fittz, a Camino Global missionary in Honduras. When missions teams came to Honduras, they would usually want to purchase coffee to bring home. So, Mark would drive them to the grocery store to purchase coffee. One day, he began to think about how he could work with the local farmers to provide coffee to these visitors themselves. After talking with some of the local farmers, HOPE Coffee was started as a small souvenir product. Meanwhile, several Camino Global missionaries back in the United States were discussing how to use business as a means to support missions. One of the ideas that came about was selling HOPE Coffee in the United States. After testing out the idea, it soon began to take off, and HOPE Coffee USA was launched in 2011! Currently, HOPE Coffee is sold in both Honduras and the United States, with 100% of the net profits being used to spread the gospel through servant evangelism projects in Honduras.

What are the servant evangelism projects?

The servant evangelism projects are designed to give help to the people in the communities near the Honduran and Mexican churches. These projects are carried out by the local Honduran and Mexican believers as they serve their communities. A servant-evangelism project often looks like: installing a roof, pouring concrete for a floor, building a water well, and other basic building projects. These building projects are approved and coordinated by a Camino Global missionary.

How much profit does HOPE Coffee donate?

We donate 100% of our net profit each year. To accomplish this goal, we intentionally keep our expenses low and carefully consider how we re-invest our profits. Each year since we launched in 2011, HOPE Coffee has produced an impact report to show how we spend our profits.

How are the funds distributed?

The net profits from HOPE Coffee are donated into a fund, which is used for the servant evangelism projects. The Honduran and Mexican church leaders fill out applications showing how they want to share the gospel in their community through a service project. Then, a team of Honduran or Mexican pastors, along with a Camino Global missionary, review the applications and approve the best opportunities to share the gospel. The funds are used to purchase supplies for the project while the local church members often volunteer their time and skills. As the members of the church work alongside the family being helped, they build relationships with the family members as they share and live out the love of Christ.

HOPE Coffee Honduran Medium, Honduran Bold, and Honduran Dark originate from the Siguatepeque region of Honduras, while the Guatemalan Decaf roast originates from Guatemala and the Mexican Light roast originates from Mexico. The HOPE Coffee Espresso blend originates from Honduras and a South American country. HOPE Coffee uses 100% Arabica coffee beans that are cupped for quality and classified as specialty grade strictly high grown (SHG) coffee. The coffee is purchased from farmers who own small plots of land.

At what altitude is the coffee grown?

All of our coffee is strictly high grown (SHG) at 4,000 feet or above.

Is your coffee fair trade?

Our coffee is direct trade. We pay more than the market price for our coffee. This actually helps our farmers more than fair trade would.

Is your coffee organic or grown organically?

Not all of it is organic. Some of our farmers grow organically, but because they are often on small plots of land on a mountain side, it is possible for chemicals from farmers further up on the mountain to be washed down the mountain when it rains onto our farmers’ land. We do not test or market our coffee as organic.

How often are the coffee beans roasted?

Our espresso blend is roasted every week, and the rest of our coffee roasts are roasted every three to five weeks.

About Us – Belief Statement

What is HOPE Coffee’s doctrinal or belief statement?

HOPE Coffee’s Statement of Belief

HOPE Coffee* is a non-denominational organization. Our purpose is to empower Evangelical Christian** churches in Honduras, Mexico and across other parts of the world, to reach the lost in their communities through project-based evangelism.***

These projects include (but are not limited to) building a home for a widow, installing a water storage system for a family, constructing a roof or pouring a concrete floor for a small home. The local church performs the work of the project alongside the family in need, all the while building a relationship with them and ultimately sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. HOPE Coffee is thrilled to partner with and empower these local churches who are eager to serve and reach the lost in their communities.

While these local churches are from diverse denominational backgrounds, all are expected to align with the tenants of the Nicene Creed. This creed was adopted by the universal church in 325 A.D. and focuses on the deity and humanity of Jesus Christ and is essential to understanding and accepting the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

** Evangelical church is defined as a church that is centered around the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

***Project based evangelism is defined as follows; churches of varying Evangelical Christian denominations present project needs to our local staff on behalf of families in their local communities who do not yet know Jesus.

Is HOPE Coffee a non-profit or for-profit ministry?

Because HOPE Coffee sells an actual food product, it is a Texas for-profit corporation. However, HOPE Coffee is wholly-owned by the Camino Global Foundation, which is a non-profit foundation associated with the missions organization Camino Global. This foundation manages different businesses that support missions with their profits. With this structure, HOPE Coffee can donate all of its net profits to support missions in Honduras.

Where is HOPE Coffee based?

HOPE Coffee, Inc. is located in Dallas, Texas, while HOPE Coffee Honduras is located in Siguatepeque, Honduras. Both companies are separate legal entities that partner together for the sake of the gospel.

What is Camino Global?

Camino Global (formerly CAM International) is a missions agency that was founded over 125 years ago by C. I. Scofield. The focus of Camino Global is to reach Spanish speakers all around the world.
